Many attorneys nowadays are proposing to Chinese investors who were born in Mainland China and others from countries with no E-2 treaty but are facing potentially severe EB-5 visa retrogression issues to apply for the citizenship of another second country. Turkey and Grenada citizenships seem to be the preferred routes. Once applicants obtain Turkey or Grenada citizenship, they can apply for the E-2 visa to come to the United States. The source of funds requirement of E-2 is much less rigorous than that of EB-5 as well. Applicants can obtain Turkey or Grenada citizenship within six months. E-2 processing times are a couple of months as well. Therefore, the combined process takes less than a year. The spouse of the E-2 visa applicant can work at any job of their choosing with no restrictions. Typically, the duration of this visa is five years for citizens of Grenada. If they have the means, there is no reason for the E-2 visa holder not to apply for the EB-5 once they are in the United States with the E-2 visa.
